Podcasts about Spiritual development

“Would you plead guilty to a crime you didn't commit—if God told you to?”Most entrepreneurs are taught to fight for what's fair. But what if fairness isn't God's priority—obedience is?In this raw and redemptive episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I pull back the curtain on a defining moment in my journey: being falsely accused of financial fraud, facing an IRS audit, and hearing God say “Sign the paper.” What followed was confusion, heartbreak, and the kind of faith you can't fake.Discover how to discern God's voice when obedience feels like surrender. Learn the real reason delays, detours, and unjust trials may be proof of divine strategy, not punishment.Because sometimes, the most successful people in the kingdom are the ones who said "yes"—when everything inside them screamed "no".If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

Send us a textDr. Arianna Molloy, author of "Healthy Calling: From Toxic Burnout to Sustainable Work," shares on "calling burnout" and why it hurts more than standard exhaustion. Regular burnout says, "I don't like what I'm doing anymore." Calling burnout says, "I don't know who I am anymore." To find our way back, she offers a practical, research-backed posture of healthy humility: know your strengths and weaknesses without being ruled by either; live as a learner who isn't threatened by not knowing; and practice the capacity to walk away, rest, and remember you're not God. This is not self-erasure. It's a return to sanity, a way to steward gifts without becoming indispensable to them.We also explore communication as a healing balm for homes and teams. Truthful, kind, and clear messages—spoken, written, and nonverbal—repair trust faster than endless clarification by text. Simple rhythms like visual voice messages, shared gratitude at the table, and sabbath touchpoints keep relationships tender and resilient. Along the way, gratitude emerges as humility in action: a daily reorientation that dissolves cynicism and turns ordinary messes into moments of meaning.If you're a mom, leader, creative, or caregiver wondering how to serve without losing yourself, this conversation offers a grounded path forward.

When the world feels heavy, choosing joy can sound naïve. We think it's the most practical move you can make. In this heartfelt episode, we share how a brutal “year of authenticity” led to a bold decision to claim a “year of joy,” and why that choice reshaped daily life. You'll hear a reading from Small Pearl's Big Wisdom titled We Will Have Joy, then we unpack how gratitude and delight fade without tending, and how to bring them back through simple, repeatable practices.We explore joy as medicine for the soul: the counterweight that steadies your nervous system and expands your perspective during hard seasons. From dance rehearsals that dissolve stress in minutes to tiny present-moment miracles like a dog napping belly-up, we show how nothing outside needs to change for your inner state to shift. Joy doesn't erase facts; it equips you to meet them with more compassion, creativity, and clarity. You'll learn how to set morning intentions, close your day with a quick “what was joyful” check, and use movement, nature, and mindful naming to anchor goodness in real time.This conversation is for anyone who feels stretched thin yet wants a grounded way back to aliveness. We make the case that joy is not a reward for finishing the hard work; it's the fuel that makes the hard work possible. Walk away with practical tools to cultivate joy now, not “someday,” and a gentle nudge to claim even a few drops on the toughest days.

Most faith-driven CEOs are running million-dollar visions on a bankrupt system.They quote heaven's scripture… but secretly build on the world's playbook. That gap isn't just dangerous—it's the reason many “Christian businesses” look more like culture clones than Kingdom carriers.This episode flips the script.Forget soft Bible studies. This is a ruthless audit of your leadership, values, and growth strategy—through the radical lens of the Beatitudes. These aren't poetic lines to memorize; they are heaven's war strategy against toxic hustle culture. Inside, you'll confront:1. Humility as your hidden growth edge — the asset every algorithm and ad campaign can't replicate.2. Why grieving failures isn't weakness — it's the crucible where breakthrough models are born.3. The dangerous trade-off between righteousness and revenue — and why choosing God's standard might cost you likes, but will secure divine backing. 4. The forgotten weapons of meekness, mercy, purity, and peacemaking — how they quietly dismantle fear-driven competition and build brands that outlast trends.This isn't about scaling faster. It's about scaling truer.And it starts with one Beatitude-driven step you can implement this week to realign your mission with heaven's economy.If you've ever wrestled with staying faithful while chasing growth, this episode is your wake-up call: compromise builds castles on sand—conviction builds legacies that shake nations. If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

Send us a textPull up a chair at the Dim Sum Table and discover why your story—every tender, tangled part—holds real weight. Janell welcomes Jenn Suen Chen, author of Dim Sum and Faith: How Our Stories Form Our Souls, to explore how faith, family history, and formation weave together, not as a self-help checklist but as a lived way of being shaped by Scripture.Jenn introduces a four-part arc for spiritual growth—shaping, undoing, awakening, remaking—and shows why the “undoing” we avoid is often where God does His gentlest work. We unpack migration as more than immigration: movement across generations under pressure from war, economics, and longing. Naming those movements reduces shame, expands compassion, and builds what Jenn calls emotional elasticity in our home cultures. Along the way, we sit with a disarming truth from her son: “We don't get to choose what our brain calls hard.” That single line frees us from comparison, inviting honest prayer: Jesus, show me where You are here.Visit Jenn Suen Chen's website: JennOrder Jenn's new book: Dim Sum and FaithSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

Something is coming: https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com/p/whatnext   What if mastery isn't about perfection—but about transformation? In this episode of The Lectern, John Vervaeke is joined by Ethan Hsieh to explore how the cultivation of virtuosity—typically associated with the arts—can become central to philosophical and existential growth. Ethan introduces his Tiamat process, a three-tier developmental framework integrating performance training, cognitive science, and dialogical practice. Together, they explore what it means to live a deliberately developmental life, moving beyond therapy into embodied transformation. Ethan draws from his background in acting, pedagogy, and philosophy to offer a new model of self-cultivation rooted in agency, feedback, metacognition, and trust. Ethan Hsieh is a facilitator, educator, and philosophical practitioner whose work bridges performance, cognition, and transformative pedagogy. As the creator of the Tiamat process, he integrates insights from embodied practice, developmental psychology, and dialogical philosophy to help individuals cultivate virtuosity as a way of life. Ethan is also a co-founder of Five to Midnight, a community of practice that fosters relational, developmental growth through shared inquiry.

What if the reason you're stuck isn't the devil—it's your disorganization?In this power-packed episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we confront a truth most Christian entrepreneurs never hear: anointing without order is spiritual sabotage.It's time to stop hiding behind gifting and start aligning with God's blueprint for increase. Together, let's uncover:1. The hidden cost of chaos in your life and business—and how it's blocking your breakthrough2. Why your lack of systems isn't just sloppy—it's disobedient3. How to audit your physical, digital, and spiritual spaces to make room for the next level4. The secret to building with excellence without slipping into perfectionism5. How Proverbs 31 profitability and Nehemiah-style strategy can move you from burnout to breakthroughIf you're tired of praying for more but not prepared to manage it—this episode will wreck you (in the best way!).Because in the Kingdom, order isn't optional—it's the signal that you're ready for multiplication. If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

A tender question sits at the center of this conversation: what happens when we trust the heart more than the plan? We follow that thread through three original readings from Revelations of the Sky and into the lived terrain of starting over, moving from Alaska to Kauai, and rebuilding identity with fewer titles and more truth. Along the way, we challenge the myth of a single calling, exploring purpose as plural—something we practice in small daily choices, not just in big career moves—and invite permission to experiment with language, work, and self-expression.We talk openly about grief as a beginning rather than an end point: the catalyst that widened the path to spirituality, intuition, and creative risk. If you identify as sensitive or empathic, you'll hear a reframe you might need today: feeling deeply is not a flaw to fix but a strength to master. That intensity can hurt, but it also heals—it's the same openness that lets joy register in bright color and makes meaning easier to find in ordinary moments. From that place, wisdom becomes less theoretical and more embodied, tempered by trial, mistake, and the quiet kind of courage that accrues over time.The final movement is a call to be seen. Not as a performance, but as an act of alignment—peeling back old skins, integrating professional expertise with spiritual gifts, and allowing your voice to carry the life you've actually lived. Trust here isn't a leap into nothing; it's a series of grounded steps toward what feels alive. If you've been waiting for permission to shine, consider this your gentle green light. Listen, reflect, and then tell us: where is your heart asking you to go next? If this conversation resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs it, and leave a review so more seekers can find their way here.Tune in next week for a new episode to support and empower your light--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Eventually, your most valued pleasures become stale. And you realize that you want something the world cannot offer. Your focus turns to spiritual development. This is called sannyasa. It means you're cultivating freedom from desire, freedom from need, greed and fear.

What if the very thing you're calling a failure... is actually proof of God's favor?Here's the truth: too many Christian business owners have bought into a toxic lie—that favor equals ease. That if you're really called, anointed, or blessed, your path should be smooth. It's not just wrong—it's dangerous.In this eye-opening episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I expose seven deceptive lies about favor that could be sabotaging your business growth, delaying your breakthrough, and distorting your theology. After years of studying favor and walking through fire myself, I'm revealing what no one else is saying:1. Warfare is often confirmation, not condemnation.2. Failure is preparation, not disqualification.3. And favor isn't about your comfort—it's about your calling.You'll hear personal stories of pain, pruning, and the price of saying “yes” to God. And most importantly, you'll walk away with a new lens: one that doesn't flinch in the face of struggle—but recognizes it as a sign you're right where you need to be. If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

Send us a textPermission to grow doesn't come with a playbook—it starts when you admit what's no longer working and choose to rebuild from the inside out. We're joined by intuitive guide and entrepreneur Iva Svetliva, who shares how she swapped algorithm-chasing for resonance, turned her website into a community hub, and created “inner ceremonies” that help founders reconnect to their own wisdom.We explore the patterns that keep entrepreneurs stuck—fear of visibility, people-pleasing pricing, urgency over alignment—and how Iva's co-creative approach helps clients access what's already within them. She breaks down how to choose the “easy yes,” practice body-based discernment, and redefine success beyond hustle culture.If you're craving a business that actually feels like you—clearer messaging, offers with soul, and growth without burnout—this conversation is your permission slip to follow resonance over rules.To learn more about Iva: https://mysticalheartco.group.app/about-communityThreads:https://www.threads.com/@ivaoftheheartYouTube:https://youtube.com/@ivaoftheheart?si=K4zU8ZQkxPjuUu76Ways to walk together:Inner Ceremony: Inner Self connection for healing & guidancehttps://cal.com/svetliva/inner-ceremonySpirit Baby Sanctuary: Empowered Motherhoodhttps://cal.com/svetliva/spirit-baby-sanctuaryEverBloom for Entrepreneurs: Authentic Business *Now enrolling Founding Members for EverBloom*https://mysticalheartco.group.app/plan-subscription/checkout?plan=2a37bc54-43d2-4469-9d9b-f2ab2b2c7b5aClairvoyaging is now a fiscally sponsored project of Fractured Atlas, a 501(c)(3) charity, so any donations are now tax deductible.

On this episode of the Built Different Podcast, we’re joined by Josh Rutledge, Vice President of Spiritual Development at Liberty University. Josh is passionate about equipping the next generation to live out authentic faith in a culture that constantly challenges it. From his leadership on campus to his preaching in Convocation and Campus Community, Josh has a unique vantage point into what God is doing in the lives of young adults today. In our conversation, Josh reflects on the sobering cultural moment we’re living in and how tragic events have stirred both grief and a renewed hunger for truth among students. He shares powerful insights on the revival and spiritual awakening taking place across college campuses, highlighting the ways students are pressing in with a genuine desire to follow Jesus. We also talk about the dangers that threaten faith formation in young adults, the importance of discipleship as a “long obedience in the same direction,” and why spiritual formation requires not just learning about Jesus but also living like Him. Josh unpacks the heart behind Liberty’s “Built Different” sermon series, emphasizing holy habits, community, mentorship, and perseverance as essential to cultivating a resilient faith. Throughout the episode, Josh reminds us that while the challenges of our culture are real, God is at work in extraordinary ways, raising up a generation committed to truth, righteousness, and the gospel. His prayer, and ours, is that students would not only encounter Christ but also embrace a life of deep, lasting formation in Him.

Send us a textThe quiet after the last suitcase leaves can feel like a freefall—or a doorway. We lean into that threshold with Kate Battistelli, author of The After Party of the Empty Nest: Mom Isn't Your Only Name, to reframe the empty nest as an after-party —a time to honor the first act of mothering and step into a purposeful, hope-filled second act. Kate shares the heart behind her directive, “Mom is not your only name,” and why your next chapter isn't smaller—it's just different, and often deeper.Together, we explore the three “bird” archetypes that map this transition—the quick-pivot swallow, the grieving mourning dove, and the balanced robin—so you can name where you are and choose what's next. Kate's story illustrates how courage grows when we respond to quiet nudges with small, faithful steps. We discuss dreaming with the Father without shrinking your desires, finding an “empty next” that builds the kingdom, and utilizing the margins of your day to prepare for new work, study, service, or creative callings.If this episode encourages you, please follow, share it with a friend who's nearing the transition, and leave a quick review so more moms can find the courage to start their after party.Download the Intro and First Chapter of The After Party of the Empty Nest: Text AFTERPARTY to 44144.Visit Kate's website: Kate BattistelliLearn more about Kate's book: The After Party of the Empty NestSupport the showBegin Your Heartlifter's Journey: Visit and subscribe to Heartlift Central on Substack.

You weren't called to survive the fire. You were called to shift it.God doesn't always pull you out of chaos—sometimes He plants you right in the middle of it. Why? Because you're not just a participant in culture… you're called to disrupt it.If your business feels broken, your workplace toxic, or your team stuck, this episode of

Here's an interesting strategy to consider as you think about how to lead the teenagers you know away from a culturally-influenced self-centered lifestyle, to a God-centered lifestyle: pray for crisis to enter their lives. Self-centeredness with no room for God plays and advances well in a youth culture that feeds the beast of self-absorption from a deep well of luxury and wealth. Sometimes it's not until the well runs dry through poverty, want, or crisis that our kids understand their thirst for what it really is – a longing not after self, but after God. While our kids might not see it as such, it's a blessing when the clay feet on which a self-centered lifestyle is built crumble to dust. Sadly, that's oftentimes what it takes for them to reach out to their heavenly Father. As John Stott reminds us about the prodigal son, “he had to ‘come to himself' by acknowledging his self-centeredness, before he could ‘come to his father.'” While we hate to see our kids hurt, sometimes that hurt helps!

In this “Compared to Who?” episode, Heather Creekmore talks about how growing in spiritual maturity can help you break free from comparison and body image struggles. She gently challenges listeners to re-examine the belief that life will be easy if you just do everything right—a mindset she calls “magical thinking.” Instead, Heather explains how holding onto this idea can prevent us from fully trusting God and experiencing real growth. She shares her personal experiences with disappointment, especially around marriage and body image, and how letting go of perfectionism and unrealistic expectations made space for deeper faith and emotional stability. Ultimately, the message is about moving away from idols and quick fixes, and toward a more honest, grace-filled relationship with Jesus—even if it means accepting that life will have its hardships. There’s a lot more nuance and encouragement in the episode, so it’s definitely worth a listen!

This episode is a little FUN & different! I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own September challenge. I set myself three personal goals around career, money, and meditation, and created journal prompts to help me call these manifestations in within the month.

Ever feel like you're drowning in noise—from social media, news cycles, and even your own mental chatter? You're not alone. The Akashic Records have a timely message about "cutting through the noise" during this transformative period in late September. In this episode, we explore the Records' guidance for navigating the intense energies of late September, focusing on "cutting through the noise" to reconnect with our core values and inner wisdom. The metaphor of a cake knife slicing through layers reveals the importance of discernment during times of overwhelming change.Key talking points include: • What's pulling at your attention, and is it worth your time?• Reconnecting with core values as an anchor during chaotic times• Three-layer journaling practice to clear mental clutter• Top layer: brain dump of mental chatter• Middle layer: practical concerns and to-do lists• Bottom layer: connecting with heart wisdom• The Hermit card appears as confirmation of the need for introspection• Living authentically requires continually tuning out the world's expectationsRather than offering complicated spiritual practices, this episode delivers three powerful questions that act as your compass: What's pulling at your attention? Is it worth your time? What are your core values? These simple inquiries create immediate clarity when life feels chaotic. Dr. BethAnne shares a personal example of catching self-doubt and choosing to release it rather than waste precious energy on unhelpful thought patterns.The synchronistic appearance of the Hermit card confirms this inward journey is exactly what we need right now. Place your hand on your heart. Take a deep breath. Remember that even in solitude, you belong to yourself, to nature, and to love. Join us next week after Equinox for a special episode celebrating nature, balance, and harmony. --Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.

Clyde Simpson shares his powerful insights on spiritual growth and development, offering a clear roadmap for Christians to move from spiritual infancy to full maturity through proper understanding of Scripture.• The vast majority (99%) of Christians never progress beyond spiritual infancy due to lack of proper teaching• Romans provides the foundational doctrine for Christian growth, with Corinthians offering reproof and Galatians providing correction• Understanding which books of the Bible were written specifically to Gentile believers versus Jewish believers provides crucial context• The growth process follows three steps: understanding God's love (Romans 1-9), responding to that love (Romans 10), and being transformed (Romans 12)• Christians often take Scripture out of context because they're taught to jump between different passages without understanding their purpose• Spiritual growth happens automatically when believers plant the Word in their hearts and renew their minds• Christ's sacrifice addresses wholeness in all three dimensions: spiritual, mental, and physical• Moving beyond spiritual infancy requires a clear understanding of doctrine before advancing to deeper teachingsFind Clyde Simpson's books, including "Spiritual Growth and Development from Babe to Full Maturity" and "Christian Leadership: Honor, Reverence and Respect for God in His Word" on Amazon or at ClydeSimpsonBooks.com.Support the showDON'T WAIT FOR THE NEXT EMERGENCY, PLUS, SAVE 15%: https://www.twc.health/elsa#ifounditonamazon https://a.co/ekT4dNOTRY AUDIBLE PLUS: https://amzn.to/3vb6Rw3Elsa's Books: https://www.amazon.com/~/e/B01E1VFRFQDesign Like A Pro: https://canva.7eqqol.net/xg6Nv...

In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we tackle one of the most sobering truths in business and life: your wilderness season doesn't have to last forever—stuck is a choice.We dive deep into the biblical journey of the Israelites and unpack how their 11-day journey turned into a 40-year delay—not because of God's timing, but because of disobedience, fear, and a refusal to change. We explore the mindsets and misconceptions that prolong your breakthrough, and how to finally partner with God in obedience, faith, and fresh thinking to accelerate your movement into the promised land.This isn't about skipping the test.

In this thought-provoking episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, we confront a bold question: What if the most powerful business strategy isn't in a TED Talk, a $25K mastermind, or a viral launch—but hidden in plain sight within the Lord's Prayer?We revisit this foundational prayer not as a ritual, but as a divine blueprint for CEOs, founders, and faith-based business owners. From confronting the “panicked intern” prayer mindset to embracing a kingdom-first strategy, this episode will challenge how you lead, brand, build, and believe.Whether you're wrestling with uncertainty, craving clarity, or struggling to align your faith with your business model—this is your call to come back to the basics with childlike faith and unshakable authority!Every line of the Lord's Prayer holds a key.

In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I invite you into a heartfelt conversation sparked by a family moment with my children—and how it led to a powerful revelation about business. Inspired by the solar system, “The Sun Strategy” unpacks a divine blueprint for leadership and client attraction: the sun doesn't chase—it shines, and everything aligns around it. We'll explore what it means to radiate with God-given consistency, to give generously without depletion, to stand firm in our values, and to become the gravitational center of our niche. This isn't just a metaphor—it's a mandate. If you're tired of chasing clients and trends, this episode will challenge and empower you to “just be” and let God do the attracting! If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

All this week we're looking at some four-hundred year old guidance and advice from the Puritan writer, Thomas Brooks. Specifically, Brooks has listed five remedies to the enemy of the soul's  strategy to get us to see following Jesus as a dangerous, losing, and suffering-filled way of life. Brooks offers great insights for us to share with our kids as they face opposition in this world. Today, Brooks tells us to always remember that difficulties and troubles in this world are actually a way that God grows us in our faith. Specifically, Brooks writes these words: “God knows how to deliver us from troubles by troubles, from afflictions by afflictions, and from dangers by dangers. In my own life I've seen this to be true. Sometimes God saves us from ourselves and our foolishness through times of difficulty. While these times have been hard, I would not, in hindsight, trade them for anything. God's curriculum for our growth and flourishing often-times comes through difficulty.

Questions? Comments? Text Us!In this episode of From God to Jerry to You, Dr. Jerry L. Martin explores a profound and timely revelation: the arrival of a New Spiritual Axial Age. God's message to Jerry wasn't just about retelling a familiar story; it was about reframing it for an era in which the world's faith traditions meet, interact, and evolve in ways never before possible.Jerry shares how God explained that humanity is living in an extraordinary period of spiritual transformation. The old religious frameworks are loosening, yet there is a renewed hunger for the Divine. This is not about creating one universal religion, but about opening pathways for spiritual growth through dialogue, exchange, and creative adaptation across traditions.Listeners will hear how the original Axial Age — the time of Socrates, Confucius, the Hebrew prophets, and Hindu sages — reshaped human consciousness, and how today's spiritual landscape mirrors that transformative energy. From the personal God of the Old Testament to the Hindu concept of the Atman, Jerry illustrates how these truths, when received in new contexts, can spark fresh revelations and foster spiritual development. God's vision invites people of all backgrounds to draw wisdom from multiple sources, not blending them into sameness, but allowing each tradition to inspire new insights and deepen the understanding of Divine reality.Join us for an episode that bridges faith and philosophy, history and the present day, and invites you to see your spiritual path as part of a larger, living story.Other Series:The podcast began with the Dramatic Adaptation of the book and now has several series:The Life Wisdom Project – Spiritual insights on living a wiser, more meaningful life.From God to Jerry to You – Divine messages and breakthroughs for seekers.Two Philosophers Wrestle With God – A dialogue on God, truth, and reason.Jerry & Abigail: An Intimate Dialogue – Love, faith, and divine presence in partnership.What's Your Spiritual Story – Real stories of people changed by encounters with God.What's On Our Mind – Reflections from Jerry and Scott on recent episodes.What's On Your Mind – Listener questions, divine answers, and open dialogue. Stay ConnectedShare your thoughts or questions at questions@godandautobiography.com

What if the real work of leadership wasn't about climbing higher, but going deeper into the soul, the body, and the sacred responsibility of showing up fully alive? In this soul-stirring conversation on The Greatness Machine, Darius sits down with Nathanael Chawkin for a deep dive into the sacred masculine, conscious leadership, and the power of integration. From personal initiations through plant medicine to the spiritual responsibility of leading in the modern world, this episode explores what it means to live a wholehearted, embodied life. Nathanael shares insights from his work guiding men through transformational rites of passage, and challenges the performative narratives of power and success. They also reflect on the rise of conscious capitalism, the illusion of enlightenment, and the true crucibles of growth—like marriage, fatherhood, and leadership itself.  In this episode, Darius and Nathanael will discuss: (00:00) Introduction and Background (02:57) The Journey of Fatherhood (05:30) Exploring Masculinity and Leadership (08:34) The Role of Plant Medicine in Personal Growth (11:29) Integration and Spiritual Development (14:11) Personal Experiences with Plant Medicine (24:57) Exploring Plant Medicines and Spiritual Experiences (30:13) The Shift from Materialism to Conscious Leadership (36:56) Conscious Capitalism and the Role of Guardianship (42:46) Integrating Spirituality and Material Life (50:23) The Pathways of Development in Leadership Nathanael Chawkin is a modern mystic, master coach, and martial arts instructor with over 15 years of experience guiding executives and leaders through transformational growth.

In today's episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I'm calling out a mindset that quietly creeps into our hearts: the belief that if we just “do the steps,” God will reward us on demand. However, God is not a genie—He's a Father.I share how unmet expectations and delayed promises nearly derailed my faith and business. We'll walk through three major myths that create false hope for Christian business owners—and why embracing the process is far more powerful than chasing quick success. From James 1 to Ecclesiastes 3, you'll discover why God's timing is never late and why your trials are shaping you for impact, not disqualifying you. If you're tired of feeling behind or disillusioned, this episode will refresh your spirit and reignite your perseverance!If this episode stirred something in you, it's time to take the next step.

Ever notice how the universe seems to throw its biggest challenges at you right when cosmic energies are at their peak? That's no coincidence. Dr. BethAnne Kapansky Wright explores the powerful practice of anchoring into our hearts during times of transition and cosmic intensity. She shares a personal moment when, despite exhaustion and midnight approaching, she honored her commitment to her oracle card practice – a decision that reset her perspective and reconnected her to her inner wisdom. This authentic glimpse into her spiritual routine reminds us that consistency matters, especially when life feels overwhelming.The beauty of heart connection lies in its accessibility. You don't need perfect conditions or hours of free time – even two minutes of intentional heart focus can shift your entire energetic state. Like creating a well-worn path through the woods, each time we practice dropping into our heart space, the journey becomes more familiar. We develop spiritual muscle memory that allows us to find our center with increasing ease, even during chaos.With the Lionsgate portal and full moon energies swirling around us, big transformations are inevitable. But cosmic magic doesn't always arrive wrapped in wonder and delight. Sometimes it comes disguised as disruption, challenging us to stay awake through difficulty. Your heart becomes the compass that helps navigate both the mystical opportunities and the earthly challenges of these powerful times.Ready to strengthen your connection to your heart's wisdom? Join us for this illuminating episode and discover how to create your own pathway to inner truth. Your heart holds the magic you're seeking – it's time to listen.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.
